Contact fit52 with Carrie Underwood Support

I’m so sad because I have been LOVING doing the six days of workouts in Carrie’s book. I’ve gone through them a number of times. I love using the cards variety and unpredictability of what’s coming next. And they are amazing workouts!! I downloaded the app to get some new workouts to switch it up. I hate the way the app works. I like using my own cards and going at my own pace. But the app sometimes is too slow, sometimes too fast. I had to pause it multiple times then press the fast forward button and then it told me I couldn’t skip anymore exercises even though I didn’t actually skip any workouts. I felt like I was on my phone half the time. Plus none of the moves were any different from the ones in the book. I love the concept so I’ll probably just find some workouts online and adapt them to use the cards because I have loved that. You can’t even look through different workouts without starting and going through the whole thing. It keeps giving me notifications that I’m changing “my path.” I’ll stick with it for another week until my trial runs out, but then I’m out.

I echo the many others here that it’s just too repetitive :( The sequencing gives you the same exercise sometimes 4-5 times in a row. I get that it’s supposed to simulate “randomness” with a card deck, but if there’s only 4 exercises to “pull from” for that workout, it is quite boring. So, that doesn’t practically work for a balanced workout. Sure, you’ll be sore—but, too many of a few things (especially for novices) can lead to over-fatigue & poor form...which we know is not developing the muscles properly & can cause injury. There’s a great foundation of exercises & the little videos are fun, but the library needs to be expanded big time. Perhaps even allow us to “like” our favorite moves? Sequence out the moves more equally? I say all this as a huge Carrie fan & a group fitness instructor, myself. So, great start & eager to see the improvements!

I was excited to try this app but I’m am really glad I only signed up for the free trial. I did the beginner workout and the very first exercise was a burpee? For a beginner? That’s not really the issue though. Of the 26 exercises I did, literally only 6 of them were anything other than burpees or squats and those were still only compromised of 2 other exercises (Superman’s and arm curls). So 20 out of 26 exercises were either a burpee or a squat. Naturally, the burpees always seemed to land on the card with the highest # of reps and were often back to back. Not only was it too hard for a beginner, it was plain ole boring. Needless to say, I have already declined to move past the free trial. This workouts need a lot more variety before I’d even consider purchasing.
